Can't decide on the UI
-
Hello all, I'm building this app. that stores list of files in a directory in a database (called an image in the app's terminology) and then lets you browse the directory even if it has been deleted. Now my problem is that, I want to provide search facility, so that a user can search the files. The user would be able to search within as many images as he likes simultaneously. Now I can't figure out, how to implement the UI for the search results. The search input will be taken through a separate dialog box. But I really can't decide about the UI mechanism. I mean, I want everything to be very clear & concise. Further, I want the search results to be visible in the same window. Please don't suggest using tabs :-\ . Please help Here[^] is a pic of the current UI. Thanks in advance.
Excuse me for buttin' in, but I'm interrupt driven.

keep data in any source like DataTable, XML...then when user search read the data from source and add only those you want. And in DataTable you can use Select() to filter the result.

Hi Xmen My problem is not how to implement searching but, how to display the search results. I've already formulated the background searching algo. but, I can't think of how to integrate the search results in the main window.
